Toward a Maturity Model for Knowledge Management Systems Integration

We present a maturity model that reveals the levels an organization traverses in the move from independent and distinct to integrated analysis and development of information systems and knowledge management systems. The Knowledge Management Systems Integration Maturity Model emerged from a 5-year action research project in the Israeli Navy documenting the development of 15 systems as the organization went through the different stages of maturity. Comparison is made with other maturity models related to knowledge management and software development. Implications for monitoring and evolving the systems development group of a large organization are discussed.
